BRIEF TASTING NOTE Dense brooding concentrated red wine in a modern Bordeaux style. Great cellaring potential. WINE NOTES Intense brooding, deep black cherry colours, almost opaque. Concentrated, complex aromas of black plums, cassis, liquorice, root spices, tobacco, coffee and violets that in their youth are tightly held. The palate is densely structured, with concentrated flavours that reflect the nose adding a further hint of sweet blueberry pie and bitter chocolate notes with fantastic fine fruit and oak tannins to finish. The palate is tightly wrapped in its youth opening strongly in the glass, indicating a cellar life of ten years +. Sophia...means wisdom: an honourable description of a wine created with the knowledge of the Old World, and the passion and innovation of the New. Sophia is made from low-cropping Merlot and Cabernet Franc vines grown in our Gimblett Gravels Vineyard. Hand harvested, and fermented in small fermentation vessels for almost a month, this wine spends a year in new French oak barriques. The best barrels are then aged for a further six months in seasoned French oak. Sophia is a rich, seductive wine that entices the palate. Its subtle power is revealed with time, up to 10 years from vintage, in a wine of density, complexity and real beauty. A natural deposit may form over time as this wine is bottled unfiltered.
